RE: Tekken - I don't think Bandai has full control because Namco Bandai is a different division. It's like Yamato's 1/60 Macross Plus line, though the Macross Zero OVA was released by Bandai Visual, the 1/60 toy license was obtained exclusively by Yamato.
Licenses do expire over time. Now if a toy company sponsors a visual or game production, they may have 1st dibs over the license. With regards to Tekken in D Arts, I think what Tamashii is slowly doing is going for not only a comprehensive SNK roster, but one for not only Capcom VS SNK, but also Street Fighter X Tekken.
Last November Tamashii hinted at not only KOF but Samurai Showdown. Characters to crossover into CVS include Haomaru and Nakororu.
I think the licenses do vary in a degree of what products can be produced from a property. So right now we see Square Enix displaying two grey prototypes of Kazuya Mishima and Jun Kazama at SDCC. Yet on the same show we see Kotobukiya showcasing Tekken girls for their Shunya Yamashita Bishoujo line of which I am unashamed to admit I have picked up Christie and am eagerly awaiting J.C./Julia Chang.
Its kind of like what Lucas does with Star Wars I guess. Hasbro has all rights to create toys of the 3-3/4 inch scale, Sideshow has rights to release 12-inch figures+ Statues, Kotobukiya has rights to release Vinyl kits on smaller scale staction figures.
Now maybe its a word of contract thing. i.e. the contract states that the toy company in question is able to release Street Fighter figures based off Street Fighter 4 designs. This leaves the license-holder more freedom to offer rights to other companies to do Street Fighter 2 figures or Street Fighter Alpha...etc etc.
